About me...

Hi! I'm Danny Devriendt. I'm 32, living in Belgium. I studied Educational Science and Agogics, the social science relating to the promotion of personal, social and cultural welfare. I've been a journalist for six years. My portfolio included several Belgian Newspapers (ex. Het Volk, La Libre Belgique) and various publications (De Krant van West-Vlaanderen, de Zeewacht, Focus Television, Steps,…) of the Roularta Media Group, being editor for a couple of them. I was a freelancer for the Meridian News service in the UK, was the co-founder/chief editor of Le Grand Boulevard, a stylish monthly news magazine. I also worked for the news desk of the Belgian National Radio, Radio 2, specializing in ICT and socio-economic news. I joined Porter Novelli Brussels, a communication consultancy in 1998.

As one of the first Belgian journalists covering on the Internet, I kept an important interest in the ICT-world. I gathered a lot of experience in IT-related communications, specializing in Media Training, giving in depth media training and crisis communication to a broad portfolio of clients. I'm a guest-lecturer at the University of Ghent on media-analysis.
